I cut the lavender soap this morning. It looks much less dramatic in color than the pics I took of the raw soap. It is still beautiful, though. It needs time to cure before I can package it. The process I use makes the soap safe to use immediately, but until it has cured for a couple of weeks, it is a bit drying. Once it is cured it is wonderful.

Yesterday was lavender day. Today I make honeysuckle candles. I also need to check the rest of the inventory. I can't believe that it gets packed up tomorrow!!!!I am excited about the Maple Syrup Festival. We have refined our setup throughout the year. We now use carts with drawers. It helps us to confine the clutter and to find things easily. That way we don't have to have so much on the table. In the past we used stacking bins. That meant that if a product wasn't on the table, we had to dig for it to find it. The carts are heavy, but they save a lot of headaches during the 3 days of the show. At the Syrup Festival we can't use our carts because of the way we have to get in and out of the school.

I'm off tor the dungeon!!*********************************************

Word of the day:Wednesday of the Second Week of EasterGospelJn 3:16-21

God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son,so that everyone who believes in him might not perishbut might have eternal life.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,but that the world might be saved through him.Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.And this is the verdict,that the light came into the world,but people preferred darkness to light,because their works were evil.For everyone who does wicked things hates the lightand does not come toward the light,so that his works might not be exposed.But whoever lives the truth comes to the light,so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God.
